Figures, something bugs me for months, I finally break down and ask for
advice, and find the solution less than a minute after sending the

Seems make search doesn't like the following line in my /etc/make.conf

PORTSDIR=/compile/ports

I thought PORTSDIR was required to be set if your ports were in a
nonstandard location, if you wanted everything to work correctly?
